(You should also be able to download it for a free 30-day trial.) As far as I can tell it does most of the same things that PhotoShop does, just without some of the real heavy-duty professional stuff. I'm not an in-depth user -- I crop and tweak photos, mostly, create icons, re-size stuff, etc. I was really pleased to discover recently I can rotate images by any amount I want (my Kodak software only lets me go 90 degrees....it's been nice to go as little as half a degree), for example. The program does position itself as being something to manage your digital photo collection with, but anything *I* could do with Photoshop (I was a limited user), I can do with Elements, and although the look is very different, the menues are actually pretty much the same. You can do all the same stuff with layers and fills and transforms.... You can come play with it any time if you want to check it out.

It's mainly a matter of having something on one of the machines that Katie uses. She installed GIMP the other day, and made a stab at putting together an image, but it's not exactly user-friendly. (Of course, it's <em>much</em> better than it used to be. Older versions were horrible when it came to usability.) So what does Photoshop Elements actually <em>do</em>? I haven't been able to figure out from the Adobe website whether it actually lets you do anything other than touch-up and collages.

After getting a new computer I replaced an ancient version of PS (for the PC - which I didn't have the install for) with Elements, and I've been really happy with it.
